tty7 SKILL.md skillA

tty7 from l0ng-ai/tty7 is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add l0ng-ai/tty7/tty7@git:20260925.02d8611

Pins git:20260925.02d8611 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Drive the tty7 terminal workbench from the shell with the `tty7` binary — list workspaces/tabs/panes, split a pane, send text or keystrokes into one, capture what is on a pane's screen, run a command in a real PTY and pass its exit code through, run a command in a shell pane you already have and get back its output and exit code, block until a pane finishes or needs input, see which coding agents are running and which ports a pane is listening on. Use this whenever tty7, panes, workspaces, or…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Driving tty7 from the command line

`tty7` is a thin, non-interactive client of the tty7 server. Every verb returns
and exits; `--json` makes the output machine-readable. The GUI never has to be
running — the server is what owns the panes.

## First: where are you?

```bash
tty7 doctor
```

One table, and it answers everything you need before doing anything else:
whether a server is reachable, whether the dialect matches, whether each agent's
status hooks are installed, and whether `TTY7_CONFIG_DIR` / `TTY7_WS` /
`TTY7_PANE` are set — i.e. whether you are running *inside* a tty7 pane.

Being inside a pane matters for two reasons: the address-taking verbs
(`split`, `send`, `exec`, `capture`, `procs`, `wait`, `pane close`) default to
`$TTY7_PANE`, and `run --keep` files its pane into `$TTY7_WS`. Outside a tty7
shell you must name a target explicitly, and the error will say so rather than
guessing.

The hooks row matters if you intend to delegate to another agent: without them
an agent reports no status, so `tty7 wait` on it will only ever time out.

If `tty7 doctor` says the server is unreachable, stop and tell the user — do

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add l0ng-ai/tty7/tty7@sha256:11156111ecf7cf5d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.02d8611, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
